Mind mapping-PEACE

About the peace , we will imagine to the safe world, no more war and sadness, it was happiness at all.

My group is doing the "Peace" topic.

It can be inner peace and world peace.

Firstly, the inner peace is a state of mind, body and soul, a peace within ourselves.

Let me have some examples, we need inner peace when we have a stressful time in school as a student, at work or having a social and relationship problem. For this, we will need a little break time to have inner peace to release our stress.

We always realise that is no place for us to vent.We can find someone that we trust from family or friends to discuss about the problem and overcome it.

If we have no one to vent our stress, we can find a quiet place that we like such as sea.

Inner peace is found when we feel calm and comfortable in our mind .

Otherwise, world peace is an ideal of freedom, peace and happiness among the nation.It is relate among the nation and world.

World peace can be found when there is no violence among the nation or when people around could live with freedom, peace and happiness.

The reason we need inner peace and world peace because the world will be a comfortable place to live.Besides, we can also improve ability to focus our mind.

Keep ourselves strong in the force of discord or stress is the way to have inner peace.Then, we can have a mutual agreement between the nation to keep the world peace. 

Peace is really a important thing in our life.

The high-heeled Schiaparelli shoe hat was created in 1937 in collaboration with Salvador Dali.

The idea came from a photograph taken in 1933 by Dali's wife Gala, 

showing the artist wearing a woman's shoe on his head and another one on his shoulder.

Lobster Telephone.

This piece of art was created by Salvador Dali in 1936 and was named The Lobster Telephone.

With a lobster telephone, you can dial up a dream.



Cupcake Car.

The Cupcake Car, designed by artist Lisa Pongrace is a car which made up of fabric,
wood and sheet metal that cost up to $25,000. 
The Cupcake Car was originally conceived as a rolling art installation for the
bohemian-themed Burning Man event held annually in Black Rock Desert, Nev.

The man who broke the rules: fashion designer Paul Poiret.

 Paul Poiret called himself as the ‘King of Fashion’. He was born in 1879 in Paris and apprenticed to an umbrella maker.
When he still young, he used leftover scraps of umbrella material to make dolls’ dresses and sell some his sketches to a local dressmaker.
After a while he started to sell designs to large couture houses in Paris. 

He employed the language of Oriental to develop the romantic and theatrical possibilities of clothing.
He led a fashion renaissance that introduced free-flowing dresses, replaced tight corsets with brassieres, and added a new standard of artistic value to his fashion plates.


These are his designs.
